The Ingenuity drone completes the first powered, controlled flight by an aircraft on another world.

“It’s really taking a tool that we haven’t been able to use before and putting it in the box of tools that is available for all of our missions going forward at Mars. So for me, it’s really exciting personally and for the community overall it opens up new doors,” said Dr Thomas Zurbuchen, the head of science at Nasa.
